(60,010 posts)I act thought he might be wisely keeping his head down, maybe would skate free and end up running Trump biz after the Dons Sr/Jr. were sent up the river.
But now, unless he is henpecked as hell and it is Lara who wants to take a turn at the family crime spree, Eric might be worth looking at.
Then again, maybe she is as stupid as the rest and just agreeable when given a chance to help out her father in law.

(13,524 posts)to take four Ambiens and three lorazepams in a failed attempt to go to sleep last night, and now their eyes are twirling in their heads as they go about their HAHAHA work today. The drugs are dragging them down, and the sleep deprivation is causing micro-hallucinations, HAHA.
Anything, anything, that gives these motherfuvkers even two minutes of anxiety and fear totally works for me!!!
Take Sominex tonight, LOSERS

(*evidence btw, is objective... and doesn't include editorials, conjecture, prognostications or "what if" qualifiers)

(13,424 posts)We already knew the campaign or the RNC offered jobs to people in his inner circle (the bodyguard). So this recording is nothing new.
Second, it involves a relatively minor party (Lara) who hasnt been involved in many (any?) of the major crimes and allegations so far. It is not a stretch to believe someone higher up in the food chain will claim Lara had no authority to make such an offer.
Third, it will take other evidence to frame this conversation as anything but a job offer with specific requirements attached to the job (being positive). It will not be easy to prove this recording is evidence of (attempted) bribery or conspiracy of some sort.
At best, the recording is just another example of an ongoing and consistent pattern of behavior. It is not a new or even noteworthy recording or event. It certainly is no game changer and it is not even newsworthy, imo. If you feel differently, then read into it whatever you wish. For me, this recording is largely inconsequential and will soon disappear from the news. She needs other, more damaging recordings if she wants to continue this path she is following.

they see a fucking recipe for Risotto in a stolen email and treat it like it's the fucking Lindberg kidnapping.
